Two hundred and eightieth chapter self-contradictory wooden cows and horses (4000)(2/2)
When everyone saw Wu Liang holding the tail of "Flowing Horse", their eyes also gathered together. They also had the same curiosity about this strange thing.
It's time to move...
Wu Liang took a deep breath, exerted slight force on his arms, and began to rotate his tail clockwise.
"Creak——"
Accompanied by a slightly harsh friction sound, the tail was turned by him easily, and a sound similar to the rotation of gears came from the "Liu Ma" box.
"Wow!"
Everyone was startled again and fell to the ground neatly again. This must be the sound of the "mechanical spring", right?
Wu Liang took his time and continued to slowly turn the tail of "Liu Ma" while paying close attention to every move of "Liu Ma".
Soon he saw it.
The two "front hooves" of "Flowing Horse" slowly lifted up, jumping forward just like a real horse, and then gradually began to recover.
At the same time, the two "back kicks" hit the ground and exerted force backwards, pushing the two wheels to roll, causing the "Flowing Horse" to advance a distance of about half a meter.
At this time, "Flowing Horse" had problems with its balance and began to lean forward.
And those two "front hooves" that didn't provide any power at all, just jumped in the air, finally hit the ground, supported the "Flowing Horse" that was leaning forward, but also instantly pushed the "Flowing Horse"
"Stop, causing "Liu Ma" to jolt quite violently...
"this……"
Wu Liang has never seen anything so anti-human.
Especially the two "front hooves", in addition to finally supporting the "flowing horse" to prevent it from falling forward, not only did not provide any power, but also provided some reaction force, which is simply contradictory... It shouldn't be!
Wu Liang frowned slightly, puzzled.
at this time.
His eyes suddenly glanced at the steps he just came down...
Yes!
"Flowing Horse" was probably created to deal with this situation!
Historically, Zhuge Liang's use of "Wooden Cows and Flowing Horses" began with the Northern Expedition. These Northern Expedition routes were not simple. As the saying goes, "The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to reach the sky." Transporting large amounts of grain and grass on such roads naturally requires climbing over mountains and ridges. The difficulty is evident.
.
But if you use "Liu Ma".
When going uphill, the two "front hooves" lift up first to find the support point, and then the "front and rear hooves" exert force together. The wheel in the middle can reduce the friction between the "liquid horse" and the mountain, and play a certain role.
The supporting function allows the "flowing horse" to be pushed and pulled up with less force.
By repeating this cycle, one person can operate a "flowing horse", which naturally saves a lot of effort;
When going downhill, the two "front hooves" are lifted first, and the "flowing horse" will automatically roll downward. The "front and rear hooves" take turns acting on the ground, just like a "brake" that continuously slows down while relaxing.
.
Repeating this cycle, it is still operated by one person, and it can avoid the "wandering horse" from stalling and ending up with the car destroyed and food lost, and even endangering the personal safety of other people.
This may be where "Flowing Horse" really comes into play!
The most important thing is that when Wu Liang turned the tail of "Flowing Horse", he actually didn't use much effort. From this, it can be imagined that "Flowing Horse" must have used many elements that are not well known to people of this era.
Only with the help of labor-saving levers and gears can this be finally achieved...
"This is amazing..."
Wu Liangzhong sighed, the person who came up with such a thing is simply a genius.
Of course, these are just Wu Liang's speculations.
Everything still needs to be taken out and Zhuge Liang and Thyme have to study it carefully before they can come to the most accurate conclusion.
But no matter what the result is, the labor-saving levers and gears here will definitely provide Zhuge Liang and Thyme with great inspiration. If they are given enough support, they may be able to improve more and more fun things.
Wu Liang thought of the "Zhuge Liang Four-Wheeled Cart" that he had seen in later TV series that even Sima Yi had coveted for a long time... maybe it would be available in the late Eastern Han Dynasty soon!
"Sir, are you okay?"
Seeing Wu Liang frowning at times, looking surprised at other times, and looking emotionally unstable, Dian Wei was really worried that Wu Liang had been possessed by something evil again, so he quickly got up and asked.
"Okay, very good!"
Wu Liang's face was full of joy at this moment and he was smiling from ear to ear.
This tomb is really profitable!
